escape velocity If you want to know why I sometimes like to shoot colour, then you will see a bunch of reasons in this post. This roll of Cinestill was shot on my last trip and I just love the results. And you will also see why I love rangefinders too. All of these were taken at speeds of 1/8 to 1/15, handheld. Pretty much impossible with an SLR unless you have image stabilisation. And of course my Zeiss lens is fantastic. The lens is really sharp, so it can be shot wide open without any problems. Although f/2.8 is really pushing it for handheld outdoor night shots it works even then, at least if you pick your shots carefully and shoot at ISO 1600. I'm thinking of investing in a faster 50mm lens before the winter so that I'm a bit more flexible, but I'm really impressed with this lens already. It was the perfect pick as my standard lens and it surpassed my expectations.
